Thermodynamics of chemical laser and high temperature species

This report (covering July 1974 through June 1975) gives summaries (a) for high-speed thermophysical measurements on hafnium, iron, tantalum, and molybdenum and (b) for an interpretation of the Raman Spectra of PF5, AsF5, and VF5. Details of these activities have been or are in the publishing process. In addition, this report includes two articles which are current and have not started the publication process. One is a study on the chemiluminescence of the Pb(g) - 03(g) reaction, and the other is a review of the literature for dissociation energies of diatomic oxides and fluorides relevant to chemical kinetics are indicated.
